Seppuku + Maw's Grave

May a Maw's Grave player take the rulebook action to commit seppuku?
I'm guessing this is because "You do not gain or lose Honor" is on the stronghold, and the player ability to order seppuku (http://rules.l5r.com/Glossary_S#Seppuku) says, "before you lose Honor."
http://rules.l5r.com/Effects#Blind_cards_rule: "(N)egation from ongoing and continuous effects precedes the chance to take a Reaction 'before' something happens, and negation from ongoing effects precedes both triggered traits and Reactions. So, if an effect says 'Units can not move from this battlefield,' you still cannot take a Reaction 'before moving' to an effect that normally moves a unit from the battlefield."
Replace "lose honor" with "moving" in the example above.
